Arriva London win Most Innovative Campaign award at this year's National Payroll Giving Excellence Awards Ceremony

Arriva London's colleagues make an enormous contribution to various charities through the Payroll Giving scheme, and by telling their generous stories, Arriva London was able to create their award winning campaign.

The campaign featured individual stories of why these employees had wanted to give to their chosen charities.

Peter Batty, the Commercial Director of Arriva London, said "It's a great honour to win this award and to receive it on behalf of all our staff who contribute weekly to Payroll Giving, without which the campaign would not have been successful."

As well as winning this award, Arriva London were fortunate to win a Gold Award through Payroll Giving, and in 2016 are looking to achieve a Platinum award.

Arriva London is one of the biggest bus operators in London, providing 18% of the capital's bus services under contract to Transport for London (TfL). Contracts involve routes, vehicles and timetables specified by TfL and are closely monitored to ensure services are of the highest quality.

Arriva London has ensured that every one of their employees knows that they offer the scheme, they highlighted Arriva London's pride in the scheme and listened to why their employees want to do Payroll Giving and shared throughout the business.

We train our drivers in all aspects of customer service, and as we often hear from our passengers, our staff go above and beyond the call of duty to help, be it someone with mobility difficulties or maybe someone who is looking for directions.

The generosity of our staff is reflected in Arriva London receiving the prestigious Government’s Charity Aids Foundation Platinum Award last year, which means that over 20% of the staff give to charity through the company’s Payroll Giving scheme.
